Signing/trading for guys around 30 who can be had on relatively cheap 1-2 year contracts, fine. But no expensive, long term commitments should be taken on right now.
The only players in that age group he brings in could be RP's on one or two year deals.
He may have to add a one year starting pitcher in that age group for 2026, perhaps one coming off an injury?
